Get up close and personal with Polynesian underwater wildlife on this snorkelling safari in Moorea, with dolphins offshore and fish in the lagoon!

No matter which island you are on in French Polynesia, snorkelling is a must-do activity, as the waters of the South Pacific are sublime and teeming with fish. So if you are passing through the sister island of Tahiti, be sure to take part in this incredible safari excursion to not only try your hand at swimming with dolphins in Moorea but also rub shoulders with the rich flora and fauna of the lagoon! The lagoon is packed with extraordinary snorkelling sites: the underwater tiki spot, the coral garden, the sandbank of stingrays and blacktip sharks, etc. There is no shortage of things to see!

This snorkelling safari in Moorea will take you on a 3 to 4-hour adventure, starting offshore in search of dolphins. These cetaceans are very common in Polynesian waters, so you will have a great chance of spotting them! What's more, if all the conditions are right (animal behaviour, sea conditions, etc.), you will have the pleasure of taking to the water with your guide to swim with Moorea's dolphins. A real daydream! The rest of the tour will be just as exceptional, with various snorkelling stops in the Moorea lagoon: you will discover the lagoon's famous submerged tikis, its magnificent coral garden, and meet its inhabitants, including sea turtles, stingrays and blacktip sharks.

Carried out alongside passionate local guides who care about the well-being of the flora and fauna that inhabit Polynesian waters, this snorkelling safari in Moorea is an enriching outing that will leave you with wonderful memories. Between the warm waters of the South Pacific (between 23 and 26°C all year round) and Polynesia's abundant underwater life, you will have the time of your life swimming with dolphins in Moorea and exploring the island's lagoon with fins, mask and snorkel!
